Members garytees Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 Speaking as a true geezer, in the 80's I was still listening to 60's and 70's music.ZepplinDeep PurpleUriah HeapBad Co.CreamJourneyGenesisKansasYes Me too! I didn't listen to much of the '80's stuff as I felt it had 'no soul'. I often wondered, "poor kids I wonder how they're gonna turn out?" Well, I guess I was wrong and they turned out OK. Now I go back and listen to the good stuff I missed out on (cause I turned to country in the '80's). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members James Hart Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 I listened to WNEW and K-Rock out of NYC for most of the 80s. Touched on some Jazz and the Motown / Soul stuff of my folks. Quit the hard rock / metal scene as the "Hair Band" stuff started to take over. Went Alt Rock and Contemporary Adult at that point. I was Grunge in the mid 80s... Flannels and boots was a way of life... so that felt right when it hit the scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members PrestiaRules Posted January 7, 2008 Members Share Posted January 7, 2008 The first singles, LPS and tapes I bought would have been around mid 80s and were: Duran Duran Prince ACDC KISS Iron Maiden Michael Jackson Queen I was pretty young and lived in the country so had no idea of genres and what not....later on people told me I was a weirdo by the end of the 80s I loved Metallica and GnR LOVED them...that is also when I started listening to Zappa regularly it wasn't until the early 90s that I heard the 80s music I now like the best like the Minutemen.

Yeah, I know - but that's pretty much what I was listening to during those years... I forgot Frank Zappa, though... I saw The Who in the Tangerine Bowl in Orlando during the 80s... - georgestrings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
